Well if you’re just some dude in Vermont or whatever who sat down tonight and said “hmm so who’s playing tonight?” this is a waaaay better game so far than you would have expected.

Take a conservative shot at the end zone then kick a field goal. Easy.

Illinois gets the ball to start the 2nd half. I can understand not trusting Rivers fully, and you feel good being only down 21-17 to the #10 team in the nation.

Not with a Freshman QB - he had a fumble last week - you have to play it safe and get points at the end of the half...

This was the best half of Illini football I've seen in a while

2nd week in a row with a late turnover, quick drive and 3 points to end the half. Thing of beauty.
That could have gotten ugly, it didn't. Definitely enjoyed the 1st half, will watch the 2nd.
Two weeks in a row watching into the 2nd half, it's been a long time since that has happened.

Perfect clock management and playmaking to end the half. Corbin is an absolute stud and the duo of him and Epstein might be the best in the B1G West. Best kicker/punter duo in the conference and maybe the country. Competent coaching. Freshman quarterback playing well. Defense getting gashed but taking the ball away. This team is fun and I am loving seeing this growth. Maybe the formerly suspended players get more settled in now and that helps mitigate PSU's second half surge.
Keep taking the ball away and keep running the ball, and let's have fun this second half.

Looked like maybe they were trying to center the ball on the field, for easier field goal. NFL avoids that with narrower distance between hash marks
